About "Entity"

Many of us have at least a small idea about the Entity, a ruthless being that keeps its victims and killers trapped in its own universe, playing with them in a cyclical manner as it pleases. So, would you want this entity to come to this world it created as a killer?

If the Entity were to be added to the game as a playable character, what do you think their abilities would be?

    The entity is already in the game. They’re a master shapeshifter indistinguishable from those it copies. It loves to take part in the trials as a survivor in order to inflict maximum misery. Every time you see a useless survivor teammate, it’s the entity trying to fill you with despair. Every time a killer goes against a Claudette that they can’t catch, they’re actually going against the entity.

    Making the Entity itself a killer would greatly take away from the unknowable that makes it what it is.

    If it’s a killer, it gets a power. And because this is a game with two sides, that power has to have its limits. Limits that can be identified, understood, and played around. At that point, the fantasy of the unknowable eldritch being is… just gone.

    The most I could ever see the entity being added as a character, is like a Cultist who summons the Entity during the trials to aid them

    Thats about it tho
